In July this year, OSRL Ghana Limited Company and Bayfield Oil Services Ltd opened a new computer lab at the Sekondi School for the Deaf in the Western Region of Ghana.
As part of our commitment to innovation and inclusion, we wanted to support the school with this project to help bridge the technology gap faced by the students and provide them with better opportunities to learn. With this new equipment, deaf students at the school will be brought up to date in this digital age.
The computer lab, designed in collaboration with the school, features an advanced range of computers with high-speed internet and up-to-date hardware to assist with learning. The new technology will open up more opportunities to further the students' education and improve their capabilities.
Representatives from the Shama District Education Office, the Inchaban Traditional Council, Pax for Hearing International Foundation, and the Petroleum Commission attended the opening of these new facilities and were treated to traditional dancing and the chance to see the students testing out the equipment.
The school's students and teachers were grateful for the apparatus provided in the computer lab's and their potential for growth and learning, and we are proud to have been involved in this project.
We take Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) seriously in our organisation, and understand the value of integrating social and environmental concerns into our operations to help support local communities.
Thank you to Rachel McLachlan, Raphael Mensah, Abel Kombey, and all who helped make the project and event successful.
